When you pose a question to a chatbot, the answer generally begins with a paragraph of flattery: it will say “You make a great point; you are really getting to the heart of the matter,” or something like that. It never just answers the question.
Your compatriots at IMAO will adopt the exact opposite tactic.
Do we really have to go there boss?
I had a bad experience recently with an Oriental sounding chatbot. It was an important phone call but I had to hang up because I no comprehendy what she was saying ..I could swear at one point she said “I lovey you long time.”
“Piss off, loser!”
You make a great point Bob B; you are really getting to the heart of the matter.
Wow! It’s HAL and Dave. Gosh. Shucks. You guys.
I have a family member who, when disagreeing with you, will start by saying “Yes” and will then spend hours trying to convince you into changing every aspect of the argument from your position to his.
Of my family members, he’s also the wealthiest, so I guess I can’t really say he’s doing things wrong…
Is his name Obama?
I had a boss whose common tactic in high level conversations was to tell other upper level people “I agree with what Biscuit told me, …(Fill in whatever the hell he wants)”. Often times saying the exact thing I argued against with him. Brilliant strategy. If they like what he says, we both get kudos. If they don’t like it, I looked like an idiot. If I argue I against it, I look ungrateful and/or like an idiot flip flopping yes man.
In all my jobs, most everyone was either a suck ass or a glory seeker or both.
I never played that game and it cost me.
Good for you, because you wouldn’t be able to look back now on having done a good job, multiple times. I’m sorry if it cost you, but it paid you in the end, because if you had caved, you’d be the one that other employees would be pointing a finger at and ridiculing.
That sort of hurtful behavior would leave him crying all the way to the bank.
Just remember it is all about Art and Fish, nothing else.

You sir, are an unhygenic buffoon. In your several trips around, the only thing you beat harder than this particular bush is your… dead horse.
They are turning into politicians.
